valkyrie2560 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 What is yale's timetable with interviews? I am looking to go into Ancient Christianity, and heard nothing. Also, do they interview everybody? Does the notification take a week? I had no idea. Also, what is timing like at Princeton? I am jonesing to work with Pagels.
redreverend Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 "Congrads! Just out of curiosity, (don't feel obligated to answer) did you apply for special scholarships/ funding? Also, are you the person on the results list who received a call from Daddy McShane?" Leagus, I only filled out the regular app. I think they automatically consider you for funding when you apply. No, I wasnt contacted by Daddy McShane, but that sounds like a cool person to be contacted by!

Also, do they interview everybody? Does the notification take a week? I had no idea. I just sent you a private message with more details, but the short version which might be useful for others is that no, Yale does not interview all of those whom they are seriously considering, so it's not necessarily a bad sign if you haven't heard anything.
phd_aspirant Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I am also wondering about Princeton. I too am jonesing...
peppermint.beatnik Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Anyone want to own up to the Drew acceptance on the "results page?" It's for Masters, but it's a month early. I know they moved up their app deadline by a month. I applied for the PhD. Would appreciate any information. Want to know if I can relax until March. edit: I just found another Drew MA under "biblical studies." I guess they moved everything up a month. Any additional info appreciated.

Hi there, I also applied to Drew's GDR doctoral program, but haven't heard anything. If you take a look at the results page from previous years, most of the acceptances for the PhD program were received in early/mid-March. I suspect they admit their masters-level applicants first and then make executive decisions about PhD applicants since they (or we, in this case) undergo a more thorough review process. That's my guess. The confirmation letters that we received weeks ago, as I recall, didn't indicate when exactly we would hear from them.
peppermint.beatnik Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Thanks sweetnlow. I was wondering the same thing. However, I didn't remember seeing any February acceptances, from Drew, on the results page--I panicked a little! Didn't expect to hear anything from my schools until March.
Febronia Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Just checked the Duke website and my rejection letter was there. Good luck to everyone else.
thisistheyear Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Just checked the Duke website and my rejection letter was there. Good luck to everyone else. PhD or Thd?
mike.whitenton Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 PhD. Sorry to hear about Duke. Did you get an email to check the website? If so, when?
Febronia Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Sorry to hear about Duke. Did you get an email to check the website? If so, when? No email. I just checked the website. (I allow myself to do this with all of my programs once a day after 5pm!)
JulesM Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 No email. I just checked the website. (I allow myself to do this with all of my programs once a day after 5pm!) Febronia, I'm sorry about Duke. . . Wishing you (and all of us!) a good weekend. Take it easy.
redreverend Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Come on mail! Hurry up. Somebody make these next few weeks go by faster!
thisistheyear Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Come on mail! Hurry up. Somebody make these next few weeks go by faster! haha agggghhh seriously these HOURS are going by toooo slow...
JMR0408 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I applied to Vandy for NT/Early Christianity and just rec'd an e-mail notifying me that I am an alternate. I did not apply for a Theology and Practice Fellowship, nor did I interview. So, it's the first bit of news from Nashville for me. Congrats to the person who got the nod, and if you're thinking about turning them down, I would highly advise you to. ;-)
johndiligent Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I know this thread is for PhD results, but I'm excited and the news may be relevant to someone: Just (in the last hour) got accepted to the MA in Ancient Culture, Religion and Ethnicity programme at UBC. I can only assume that this means that other UBC Classics, Near Eastern and Religious Studies results are out there or will be out shortly.

flynnkc Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I've seen a few Boston College acceptances on the results page...anyone care to share?? Congrats!

JulesM Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 What the heck was that strange comment about on the Results for Fordham acceptance - "Loser" - am I missing something?
Leagus Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 What the heck was that strange comment about on the Results for Fordham acceptance - "Loser" - am I missing something? I had the same thought. I think I'm gonna go ahead and call shenanigans on that post. I am also suspicious of the one referencing Fr. McShane.
johndiligent Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Thanks, peppermint.beatnik and LateAntique! It definitely relieves a lot of stress to have an acceptance.
thisistheyear Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 well duke thd is out. official letter today. god this sucks. i thought i had moved on...
